Breathing is the existence of life, but with pollution and other factors affecting our air quality, taking care of our lungs has become more important than ever. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs are designed to help people with lung problems like asthma, COPD, and bronchitis. These programs focus on three things: physical fitness, mental well-being, and eating right. we have seen that When these three aspects are diligently managed, hospital admissions due to respiratory and pulmonary issues can decrease by up to 90 percent.
At KRIMS Hospitals, we have state-of-art Pulmonary Rehabilitation Centre where a multi-disciplinary team consisting of physiatrists (rehab physician), pulmonologists, nurses, exercise physiologists, physical and occupational therapists, psychologists and nutritionists provide services to improve the health and well being of people who have pulmonary problems. During pulmonary rehabilitation, doctorsfocus on understanding your condition, managing your medications, teaching you breathing exercises, and helping you cope with symptoms. Along with regular check-ups, we offer cutting-edge interventions such as Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS), Cryotherapy, thoracoscopy, and lung cancer surgeries.
Avoiding smoking is crucial to maintain control over respiratory diseases, we council patient regularly in this regard. Long-term respiratory illnesses can pose emotional and psychological challenges to patients, with 80 percent of COPD patients experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression. Therefore, it is essential for doctors and the patients’ families to remain actively engaged in their care. Team of psychologists and psychiatrists in our hospitals work alongside patients and their families, providing timely support and guidance promoting positivity, which indirectly contributes to effective disease management.
physical health is also as important as mental health. Our Respiratory Physiotherapy Center endeavors to impart indispensable skills to patients, equipping them with breathing techniques, aerobic exercises, and resistance training to enhance the lung capacity, expanding their respiratory system, and making the breathing process more efficient. This modalities have proven to be effective in managing newly diagnosed patients and even more severe respiratory conditions.
Nutrition plays a vital role in pulmonary rehabilitation. we tell patients what to eat and what to avoid. When patients maintain disciplined control over their diet and lifestyle, there is a significant reduction in the severity of their illnesses. Thus, recurring respiratory conditions do not flare up as frequently.
For over 30 years, KRIMS has been tirelessly contributing to these three fronts, ensuring the best possible care for the people in Central India. We are always committed to providing optimum facilities to the people of the region.
